I have had great success using the strategies with special needs students. As other posters have indicated, when students struggle with the words, the meaning is lost but when they are supported either through shared reading, choral reading, read alouds, books on tape, text reader programs etc. many of these same struggles will make amazing progress. This was particularly impressive with my sixth graders as they used the strategies to devour non-fiction. I was thrilled to hear some of the students by the end of the explaining to other students the strategies that had used to arrive at a particular conclusion and the visualization was the one strategy that seems to be mentioned most oftem.
